Man, you ever try to find a unicorn? That’s what hunting down this Nintendo Switch 2 feels like. It’s like everyone wants it, and poof — shelves are empty faster than you can say “game on.” I swear, the moment they restock, they’re gone again. It’s like some wild game of hide and seek, but the Switch 2 is the best player. If you’re not glued to your screen, hitting refresh, you’re out of luck, my friend.
Okay, so rumor has it (or not, but you know what I mean) that Best Buy and Walmart actually have a few left. Maybe. But good luck, right? You’ll have to do some detective work — yeah, online of course — to see if they still have any in-store for pickup. Shipping depends on where you are, too. It’s like finding treasure if you ask me. They’re selling just the console or this bundle thing with Mario Kart World, at least that’s the talk. You’re looking at $449 for just the Switch 2 and $499 if you want that bundle. But hey, it’s worth it if Mario’s your dude.
Let’s nerd out a bit — the Switch 2’s got this 7.9-inch screen, which is a pretty big deal ’cause it’s better than the last Switch, jumping from 720p to 1080p. And guess what? Hook it up with the dock and boom, 4K gaming. Without it, you still get up to 120 frames per second. HDR, anyone? Yeah, depends on what you’re playing though.
So if you’re itching to get one, you’d better hustle. They’re like gold dust right now. On a side note, don’t pay more than you have to. If prices creep up, wait for them to chill back down to MSRP. Oh, and one more thing — make sure it’s sold by Walmart or Best Buy and not some random third-party folks trying to cash in.
Oh, and if gaming isn’t all you’re looking to upgrade, you might wanna peek at some tech deals. From SSDs to CPUs, there’s always something to make your tech life a bit cooler. Anyway, back to staring at screens — hope you snag that Switch 2!
